ance of  giving  us  all  the  notice  possible,  so  as  to  insure  prompt 
delivery.

Solid  rich  color.  The  only  Buff  Brick  made  without  adulter- 
ation from  thoroughly  tempered  clay.  It  is  necessary  to  see  and 
handle  these  bricks  to  appreciate  them. 

Ordinary  sizes  always  kept  in  stock. 

We  also  make  these  in  moulded  forms,  upon  timely  notice. 


Solid  throughout.  Made  from  tempered  clay.  More  durable 
than  stone  and  fully  as  handsome.

These  are  largely  used  for  interior  work. 

Made  to  any  form,  upon  order. 

Recent  tests  of  our  Buff  Pressed  Brick  showed  a crushing 
strength  of  122,000  pounds  and  our  Machine-made  Red 
Pressed  Brick  showed  108,000  pounds,  thus  demonstrating  the 
superiority  of  our  brick  over  all  other  makes. 


Estimates  will  be  given  of  the  cost  of  bricks  required  for  the 
construction  of  a fireplace  or  mantelpiece  of  any  design  for- 
warded the  company.
